Wrigley, four others join Board of Trustees
Influential businessmen assume key posts
By Wendell Mobley
Staff Writer
The Daily Trojan learned Monday that William Wrigley, whose family name has become synonymous with chewing gum in America, and four influential figures in California business have joined the university's Board of Trustees.
Other newly elected trustees include John King, president and chief operating officer of First Interstate Bank of California; Jerry Neely, chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president of Smith International Inc. in Newport Beach; Sam Williams, president of the State Bar of California and senior partner with the law firm Hufstedler, Miller, Carlson and Beardsley; and Ernest Hahn, former chairman and chief executive officer of Ernest Hahn Inc., a construction firm based in California.
Contacted in Hong Kong, President James H. Zumberge said, “The (Board of Trustees’) personnel committee was able to find several qualified individuals whose age combined with their proven dedication to the university indicated that they would help ensure a vital and active board.”
Zumberge said Wrigley, 48, has been on the “personnel list” of potential trustees for a few years, but “was only recently able to devote himself in the capacity of a trustee.”
A member of the Board of Trustees, Zumberge said the trustee personnel committee looks for qualified persons to serve as trustees, recommend potential candidates to the actual board where a vote is taken for the final decision.
The president said generous gifts from Wrigley made “the whole Institute for Marine and Coastal Studies a reality. Wrigley has maintained a long-time interest in the university.”
The Wrigley family has donated land on Santa Catalina Island, a house on the island and most of the preferred stock of the Catalina Island Co. to the university.
Claude Brooks, president of the island company, said the donated land was used for the Catalina Marine Science Center. The house, he said, is used as a seminar center.
According to an article published in the Daily Trojan on Sept. 19, 1979, the Wrigley family donated the equivalent of Sll million to the university during the fiscal year 1976-77 through the Cen-
tury II fund-raising campaign.
Carl Hartnack, chairman of the Board of Trustees and the International board of Security Pacific Bank, said the university wanted to add people who could contribute new ideas.
"Our intent was to bring new people with new approaches — many of whom are young executives — to the board in an effort to balance the perspective of the overall board . . . We are lucky to have such a high caliber of people to devote time and energy to the university,” Hartnack said.
King, 48 and a native of Chicago, wras elected president of First Interstate Bank of California in 1980. King was vice president of Union Bank before taking the position at the First Interstate Bank.
He has a bachelor’s degree from the university and a master’s in business administration from New York University.
King recently succeeded Kennedy Galpin as the new president of Trojan Associates, a university support group. It is common practice for the president of this association to also serve on the Board of Trustees.
The First Interstate Bank president is
the son of Frank King, also a university trustee and former chairman of the board of United California Bank, which recently changed its name to First Interstate Bank of California.
Sam Williams, 48, joined the Hufstedler. Miller. Carlson and Beardsley law firm in 1965. Before joining, he was a staff attorney for the McCone Commission, the governor’s committee investigating the Los Angeles riots.
Before that, he served as the deputy attorney general of California from 1962-65.
The attorney assumed the office of the State Bar president on Oct. 10.
Williams graduated from the university’s Law School in 1961. He received a bachelor’s degree in criminology in 1955 from the University of California, Berkeley.
Hartnack said Williams “has shown an ability to be a good community citizen. He now desires to focus his interests on higher education.”
Zumberge said Williams “had been considered a potential trustee candidate for several months but only recently could devote enough time to the job.”

UNIVERSITY CENTER SITE — The Intramural field on 34th Street will be the site of the $10 million University Center, to include the McDonald's Olympic Swim Stadium and a three-story recreational complex.
NEW SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED
Fee bill problems may be curbed
By Barry Sloan
Staff Writer
The university’s Student Financial Operations and Financial Aid Offices have implemented a new classification program designed to alleviate fee bill problems for students awaiting financial aid and to determine which students have been remiss in paying their tuition.
In the past, a professor’s class list would classify each student as a “Y” if the fee bill was paid and as an “N” if it was not. Under the new system, two other categories have been added to distinguish between negligent students and those who have financial aid problems not considered to be their own fault.
A “P” now signifies the student has pending financial aid, and a “T” means the student is trying to resolve matters with the help of the offices and may have already paid a substantial amount of the tuition, said Rick Silverman, student liaison officer.
With the four groupings, the offices can now let the "P”s and “T”s solve their tuition problems as the financial aid tie-ups in the federal, state or school stages are resolved, and concentrate on those students who have not made an effort to pay their fee bills, Silverman said. Such students either have shrugged off paying their tuition and are looking for a free education, or they registered for classes, then decided not to come to the university — but have yet to tell the university to void their fee bill, he said.
Silverman said his office has focused on sending out letters informing all students who have not paid tuition about the penalties for not paying. Students settling their fee bills after the third week of the semester must pay a $100 late fee — if students have not paid by the 12th week, the university will void their fee bills.
In addition, the notices instructed students who have encountered financial aid difficulties

Construction to begin on Olympic stadium
By Dave Fisher
Staff Writer
The long-awaited University Center will move one step closer to reality when construction begins in January on the McDonald’s Olympic Swim Stadium, but students currently enrolled at the university probably will not be around to see the $10 million complex open its doors.
The reason for this is that the center is not scheduled to open until fall of 1986. a few months after the present freshman class graduates. In fact, construction on the three-story recreational facility will not begin until the 1984 Olympic Games are over. The first phase, which is scheduled to take two years to complete, will be the construction of the swimming pools, which will be used in the Olympics.
The only things students can do now are look forward to the loss of the intramural field on 34th Street in front of W'ebb Tower apartments and the Residence West dormitory (the location of the Olympic swimming pools) and put up with the noise and traffic that construction crews will bring to that end of the campus in January.
“The benefits are hard to see right now,” said Dan Dunmoyer, an undergraduate representative in the Student Senate and a member of the University Center Planning Committee. “As a student, I'm not gaining anything from the construction of the center because it won’t open for several years.
“We just have to have some respect for people who will use it in the future, just as students in the past have had to put up with the construction of buildings they were never going to be able to use.”
Two of the main concerns currently facing the University Center Planning Committee, the body responsible for planning the recreational facility, are finding uses for the structure’s proposed 66,000 square feet of space and trying to alleviate student concerns over noise and traffic around the construction area.
At a recent planning committee meeting, a subcommittee. was formed to study the effects of the noise and traffic on students living in Webb Tower, Residence West and Touton Hall and students who use the parking facilities in that corner of the campus. The subcommittee hopes to avert a repeat of the same problems that affected those students living next to the construction site of the Parkside Towers on the east side of the campus.
The committee has yet to make definite plans for use of the center’s space, but the Student Senate recently conducted a poll asking students what they would like to see in the University Center. Racquetball courts, a jacuzzi, a sauna and a pub ranked as the most frequent suggestions.
However, when asked if athletic teams should be permitted to use the facilities, 72 percent of the students who answered the questionnaire said no, a result that angered Richard Perry, the university’s director of athletics.
“I would find it grossly discriminatory if athletic teams were barred from using the center,” Perry said. “It would be like saying public administration majors can't use the Social Sciences library.”
“I would be very sad if that was the position taken by the Stu-
